The Freefoam 175mm Agate Grey Woodgrain Fascia Board is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional contractors seeking a durable, low-maintenance replacement for aging timber fascias or a sleek finish for new construction projects. These boards are engineered for direct installation onto rafter feet, which saves time by removing the need for traditional backing boards. While they provide excellent weather resistance and a premium woodgrain aesthetic, users should note that the 175mm width is specifically sized for standard rafter configurations and requires precise measurement to ensure compatibility with existing roofline dimensions.

No, this 18mm board is designed for direct fixing onto rafter feet.
These boards are factory-finished in Agate Grey. Painting is not recommended as it voids the low-maintenance benefits and may not adhere correctly to the uPVC.
A fine-tooth hand saw or power miter saw, a drill for pilot holes, and stainless steel fixings are typically required.
Use warm soapy water and a soft non-abrasive sponge. Avoid pressure washers to prevent damage to the finish.
Yes, the finish is UV-stabilized and weather-resistant, designed to maintain its color and texture over many years.
The board is 18mm thick, providing the structural strength needed for direct-fix applications.
Check the alignment of the individual rafter feet; use a string line to ensure all fixing points are level before securing the board.
Ensure the soffit thickness is compatible with the 18mm rebate and check for any debris or construction adhesive inside the channel.
Use a specialized uPVC touch-up pen or a color-matched polish to blend minor scratches in the woodgrain texture.
To install, ensure the rafter feet are aligned correctly to provide a flush mounting surface. Use high-quality, color-matched stainless steel nails for fixing to prevent future corrosion marks. The board should be measured and cut using a fine-tooth saw to ensure clean edges on the woodgrain finish.
Compatibility: This board is specifically designed to work with standard soffit boards that fit into the 18mm rebated groove. Before purchasing, verify that the 175mm depth covers your existing exposed rafters appropriately.
Care: Periodic cleaning is the only maintenance required. Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to remove dust or grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could compromise the integrity of the Agate Grey woodgrain finish.
